We’re delighted to further support Isabella Weller with her ongoing success in Isabella’s Dance and Musical Theatre Company.
Isabella approached us for support in April 2021 when her company was a growing start-up and it’s been great to see her progress so much in two years. Based at Gorleston Pavilion Theatre, the dance and musical theatre company offers an extensive variety of classes and workshops; making regular appearances showcasing the company’s talent at local events, fetes, charity events, carnivals and shows, including Caister Carnival and Gorleston Clifftop Gala. The company also runs an annual production at Gorleston Pavilion Theatre to raise money for the theatre’s restoration fund and last year, successfully raised £8,200.
From small beginnings, having invested her own funds into her new venture, Isabella has gone from strength to strength and is now at the stage where new equipment will bring more opportunities for her students to keep fit and engaged. This includes a tumbling track, backbend training mat, stretch bands and splits stretch blocks, which will enable her students to explore and expand their learning, in safely practicing new skills to improve flexibility and strength.
Isabella’s current timetable includes ballet, tap and musical theatre classes for babies, juniors, and seniors. Isabella continues to encourage young people to be interested in the performing arts, including dancing, singing, fitness and performing. Their most recent production at Gorleston Pavilion was Drac and the Beanstalk which, according to reviews, was amazing!
In receiving the funding, Isabella said “The children will love the new equipment and be very excited to try new things during their classes.”
We wish Isabella continued success and look forward to seeing her progress along the way.
